Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 137: Miko: "Lord Arigadoye."

"Really, no, I can't..."

At this moment, Maitreya was looking at the sky with lifeless eyes, lying weakly on the beach.

Every time Ye converted her energy and absorbed her strength, the process was extremely painful.

He forcibly separated the chakra from the immortal power in her body and then integrated it into the power of the god of death.

This practice is like cutting a whole person into pieces, putting them back together, and cutting them again, and repeating this process over and over again.

However, as the power of the god of death replaced chakra and merged into Miroku's body, it became part of the power of the immortal.

The feeling it brought, which was completely different from chakra, continued to stimulate Miroku, causing him to find a strange feeling in the midst of severe pain.

Time passes in an indescribable process.

According to common sense, Maitreya, who is in the immortal state, would not feel tired or exhausted due to experiments of this level.

But Maitreya's mind is not that of a true 'immortal' who has lived for thousands of years.

She was just the inheritor, and after three days and three nights of energy conversion and fusion, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

"I'm so sorry... I really can't do it anymore..."

"Ok."

Looking at Maitreya who looked like he had been played around, Ye stopped what he was doing with the idea of ​​catching more fish than ever before.

The surprise that Maitreya brought him was really too big.

Balancing the four forces with a living human body is something that is completely beyond the current scope of Ye and Kirigakure's research, and has opened up a whole new research path for Ye.

As long as this path can be taken, Ye can fully promote the power of the god of death instead of using one or two souls to create the Soul Society here.

He can create an empire!
Create an extraordinary empire that is independent and belongs to him in this world full of chakra!
"You are really great, Miroku. You will be the core of my future plans. Everything you do now will be kept in mind by me and the future citizens of the empire."

Ye gently pinched Miroku's chin, and smiled in his dazed eyes: "I can allow you to pass on the teachings in Kirigakure, establish a 'holy land', and I will even support you and let you become the immortal of the 'fourth holy land in the ninja world'."

"The major ninja villages in the ninja world will not sit idly by and watch the rise of a country or a force, but they are definitely willing to see the emergence of a new place of inheritance."

"Wangliang is a mountain and river spirit, the Dark Shadow of the God of Plague. From now on, you will be called Wuying Immortal."

"Ah, Arigato"

Miroku didn't understand what Ye said at the moment. She only knew that this inhuman torture had come to an end for the time being...

……

The matter of the witch has come to an end for the time being, but how to face the boy who has lost his way in life is also a big problem.

When Hoshigaki Kisame returned to the village, this elite from the Kirigakure didn't even know how to get to the Mizukage Building. He hesitated for a long time in the village, but finally made up his mind and came to the Mizukage's office.

"What's wrong, Kisame? You are one of the seven new ninja swordsmen of our Kirigakure. Why are you like this? Even if the mission failed, you should be more serious and don't lose face!"

Mangetsu Hozuki, who had just walked out of the Mizukage's office, looked at Hoshigaki Kisame with a puzzled expression and was a little surprised.

This kind of look was the first time he saw on Kisame. In his impression, this guy had always been an extremely calm person, and could even be considered a task machine!
Why does he seem to be so worried today?

"A full moon?"

Hoshigaki Kisame subconsciously wanted to ask something. After all, Mangetsu Hozuki had always been Mizunoe Yo's person, and was the person who had the longest contact with Yo in the entire Kirigakure Village. If there was any information about the god of death, Mangetsu Hozuki would definitely know something.

But after hesitating for a moment, Kisame still didn't speak.

We have already arrived in front of the Mizukage's office. If we really have any questions, we can just ask him directly!

"Hehe, let me tell you, Kisame, my younger brother was born, and he hasn't named him yet. I didn't expect the Yondaime to name my brother Suigetsu." Kisame Mangetsu's face was filled with smiles, and his mouth was almost stretching to the back of his head.

"younger brother?"

Kisame was stunned, and a smile appeared on his distressed face: "Congratulations, Kizuki, it's really a good name."

"That's right! This is the name given by the Yondaime!"

"He will definitely be a genius like you in the future."

"Hehe, no more talking, I'm going back to see my brother." Man Yue's face was full of smiles that could not be concealed. He seemed to have thought of something and looked at Kisame with a teasing look on his face: "By the way, you are not bad either. When did you hook up with that girl from the Secret Signal Department under my command?"

"what?"

Kisame was stunned.

"Don't pretend in front of me, Ayako, Mizuuchi Ayako!"

Man Yue Kizuna snorted. He is now the deputy director of the Anbu and has taken over Ye Yuan's position. The Signal Department is a branch of the Anbu, so naturally it is under his jurisdiction.

"That girl came back with Deng Pao Taro. After she came back, she kept asking me about your situation. I said you were still on a mission and hadn't returned yet."

"You don't know that worried look in your eyes! You usually don't show off, but you managed to seduce the most beautiful girl in the secret code department without making a sound. You are amazing!"

"This……"

Kisame subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the gentle smiling face of Mizuuchi Ayako suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Mr. Kisame, I'm still waiting for you to treat me to a meal."

"Mr. Kisame, please come back safely!"

"Alright, alright, I'm going back to see Xiao Shuiyue. You should go report your mission to the Fourth Hokage. Remember to keep your appointment. She is indeed a good girl."

Mangetsu patted Kisame's shoulder and left happily, while Kisame stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment. He didn't even know when he pushed open the door of the Mizukage's office.

It wasn't until the sound of the night came that he was brought back to reality.

"Learning to think is the way a successful ninja should think."

Ye sat behind his desk, looking at the top genius of Kirigakure in front of him with a half-smile: "But I'm curious, are you thinking about that girl, or are you thinking about what the second generation said to you."

"All of them, Fourth-generation sir..."

Hoshigaki Kisame came to his senses and looked at the Fourth Mizukage in front of him who had overthrown the blood mist and led the Kirigakure into a new chapter.

"Then think about it carefully, and then do it step by step." Ye said with a smile.

"That's a good girl. Go on a date first and enjoy the sweetness of love and the taste of life."

"But!"

"No buts, Kisame."

Ye shook his head and said, "Life is like this. No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. We should solve the present and face the future. This is what we should all do."

"You are not ready to face those things yet. It's not because you are not good enough, but because you deserve to enjoy something better before facing the bloody reality."

“Everyone is worth it, just like the full moon, just like you.”

"But I can't just turn a blind eye to those things, especially when I already know about them!" Kisame growled, "The chakra scam, the god of death and the Soul Society, and the things you, the Fourth Hokage, are carrying. I am a member of Kirigakure, a member of your command, the Fourth Hokage, and I can't ignore all of this!"

"So what do you want to know, or what do you want to do?"

Ye said softly, "Are you curious and want to open the door to a new world and explore the unknown world and secrets, or are you unwilling to sit back and watch us bear the huge pressure and want to join us and become one of us?"

"I……"

Kisame's expression paused slightly.

He didn't know whether he was curious or for some other reason, maybe both.

"If what I said, if you really want to know all this and want to join us, requires you to give up everything you have now, are you willing to accept it?" Ye spoke again. "Give up your newly acquired identity as the Seven Ninja Swordsman, give up all the power, authority, and emotions you have, including the girl who is waiting for your date."

"If you give up all of this and become a reborn spirit like the second generation, you will be able to come into contact with a whole new world. Are you willing to accept this condition?"

"I……"

Kisame's face froze.

Can he...really accept such conditions?

He has been confused all his life and almost got lost in the twisted world shrouded in blood mist. Now, he has finally found his own existence and sense of belonging in the new era led by the Fourth Hokage.

Now, he has to give up all of this just to uncover the unknown mystery...

Kisame was hesitant to speak, with a dilemma between his conscience and his desires.

"I……"

"Okay, okay, no more joking."

Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted Kisame's brewing emotions: "The existence of Seireitei is the vanguard of resisting chakra, but it does not mean that there is nothing else."

"You are the genius of Kirigakure, Kisame. Whether it is your talent, talent, or character, you are someone I recognize, so I have already made plans for you."

"Really, really?!"

Kisame looked up in surprise.

"Of course, but the time has not come yet. It will take some time to prepare."

As for people like Hoshigaki Kisame and Hozuki Mangetsu, Ye actually thought about it at the beginning whether he should directly turn them into gods of death.

Be it Kisame or Mangetsu, they are the top talents in the Hidden Mist Village and the entire ninja world in terms of talent and ability. Apart from those guys with the blood of the Six Paths, they are the most outstanding talents in the world. If they can become Shinigami, then they will definitely be captains like Yagura in the future.

But after careful consideration, Ye gave up this option.

In this era where the concept of life and death has been fixed, asking them to give up everything they have, even their own lives, and then get in touch with something completely new is obviously much more difficult than resurrecting the dead and letting them start a second life.

therefore.

Ye Ben was thinking of waiting a little longer.

Wait until their lives are over, or until they have reached a level of enlightenment about life, and then do those things.

After all, there are still decades before Mr. Bo's Otsutsuki era.

But it's different now.

With the exploration of the power of death and the integration of various forces in this world, Ye found a completely new direction!

"Once everything is ready, you will need to step forward. I hope you won't reject me then."

"There is no way I can refuse any order from you to save me from the fog." Hoshigaki Kisame's face was serious.

"Alright, alright, relax and adjust your state. I heard from Man Yue that you still have to go to the appointment. My sister doesn't like you to have such a stern face." Ye Tiao said with a smile: "I have filed the task, and the reward will be sent to you by the Anbu later."

"Take a good rest these two days and seize the opportunity. She is a good girl."

"Sir, I am actually with her..."

"What do you mean mine and hers? Have you forgotten the policy I set? The Kirigakure revival plan depends on you, the geniuses of Kirigakure. The Hoshigaki family doesn't have many people to begin with. If you don't work harder, how can Kirigakure and your Hoshigaki family be revived?!"

Ye said with a straight face: "Go back and adjust yourself, change your clothes, and go talk to that girl."

"This……"

"This is a mission, Hoshigaki Kisame."

"Yes, Yondaime-sama!"

After hearing Kisame's agreement, a smile appeared on Ye's face again: "Okay, go ahead."

“Yes… By the way, Yondaime-sama, Kakuzu and Sasori…”

"Leave it to Yukiko."

"Yes!"

……

Because of Ye's intervention, the Demon Country incident did not cause much splash in the ninja world and came to an end.

Although the new shrine maiden Shion is young, she has the uniqueness of a shrine maiden that is irreplaceable by anyone, so she will never experience the scenes of brothers usurping the throne and uncles and nephews fighting to seize power like in the Snow Country.

Okay, I'll give you the throne, but don't come looking for me when the monsters come.

The appearance of the monsters will only strengthen the status of the shrine maiden in the Land of Demons, and also make Miroku, who is far away in the Hidden Mist Village, breathe a sigh of relief and settle down in the Hidden Mist Village completely.

The Hidden Mist Village fell into peace again.

Outside of the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist, the whole country has made every effort to develop industry and commerce, vigorously promote the fishery resources of the Land of Water, trade with various countries, and use the city of Wave City to bring all kinds of delicious seafood to the tables of major countries.

Inside, the Hidden Mist Duel Tower is becoming more and more popular. More and more Hidden Mist Ninjas are entering it, constantly tempering themselves. While improving their combat effectiveness, the strength of their souls is also quietly increasing.

The experiments on transformation into a Shinigami, Hueco Mundo, and the spiritual power control of the immortal Maitroku are all being carried out in an orderly manner.

Compared to the booming Kirigakure, other ninja villages also began to lick their wounds after the war, and each entered a period of development where hawks were dormant and doves were on the rise.

Each shadow worked hard to heal the wounds left by the war in the village, while guiding the village to develop in the direction they desired.

The ninja world, which was once filled with smoke and conflicts and wars, has entered a brief period of relative peace. Although everyone knows that such peace will not last long, those who yearn for peace still cherish this short time.

But in some corners of the ninja world, various unrests are still taking place, and explosive news is coming out, such as the defection of Orochimaru, one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, and the closure of the Rain Country.

And in the midst of these turmoils, there are always figures wearing feathered clothing wandering around, and it is unknown what mysterious mission they are carrying out...

……

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

"Nagato finally took action against Hanzo."

On the Kazekage Building, which symbolizes the highest power in Sunagakure, a figure in a black robe and a Uzumaki mask looked at the village standing in the yellow sand in front of him. The blood-red three-magatama Sharingan was faintly visible under the mask.

Beside him, a pitcher plant-like black and white figure nodded slightly.

"Hanzo didn't escape either. He locked himself in his own fortress, wrapped himself up in layers, and lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery."

"When Nagato showed up, he was still drunk. He didn't even put up the slightest resistance, and was taken care of."

Bai Zetsu said with some emotion: "It's hard to imagine, he was a demigod, the man who stood at the top of the ninja world."

"The so-called demigods have long been corrupted by power and desire." Obito sneered: "How can there be a future if we hand over the world to such a person in power?"

"Is there any news from Kirigakure?"

“Undetectable.”

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded: "There is a huge special barrier in their village. Once my spore clone enters it, it will be discovered and dealt with. There is no way to explore it at all."

"It seems like you are researching something extraordinary, Mizunotsukiyo..."

Obito had a complicated expression. That day on Mt. Higashimatsu, he also witnessed the terrifying power of that young man. That scene, even if it was just a glimpse, was enough to leave a deep impression on him.

"But don't worry. He has been staying in the Hidden Mist Village all this time, and there are no souls for him to absorb. Even if his strength has improved compared to the third battle, it will not improve much."

"There is a big situation in Konoha."

"oh?!"

Obito narrowed his eyes.

"Golden Flash Namikaze Minato succeeded as the Fourth Hokage; Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, defected from Konoha because his human experiment was exposed; a top genius appeared in the Uchiha clan, named Uchiha Itachi."

"The Third Hokage completely delegated power, even the Anbu was handed over to Minato Namikaze, and among them was an experimental subject who mastered the Wood Release. In addition..."

"Minato Namikaze's wife, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, is pregnant!"

Obito's body trembled violently, and his hands under the black robe even clenched tightly.

"Master's wife, are you pregnant?"

Obito still had a lot of good feelings towards the 'gentle' red-haired woman, but these good feelings disappeared in just a moment.

He would never forget what happened on Dongsong Mountain.

His most beloved teacher killed his most beloved girl with his own hands.

"Lin..."

Obito stood with his hands hanging down, and his whole body seemed to be swallowed by a huge shadow. The aura he exuded was so chilling that even Zetsu, who was in the extremely hot desert, could feel it.

Jue Jiji didn't speak at this moment to disturb Kamui's sad moment of tears. After a long time, Obito calmed down his emotions and spoke slowly.

"News about the Tailed Beasts, how's the investigation going?"

"Uh……"

This question hits the nail on the head.

Jue quickly organized his thoughts and words: "Currently, we have grasped the situation of the one-tail, two-tail, eight-tail, and nine-tail."

"One of the tails is in our hands, the two-tail is in Yukito of Kumogakure, the eight-tail is in Killer Bee of Kumogakure, and the nine-tail is in Uzumaki Kushina of Konoha."

"As for the three, four, five, six, and seven tails..."

Looking at the hesitant Jue, Obito narrowed his eyes.

The news of the One-Tail, Two-Tail, Eight-Tail and Nine-Tail had already been exposed during the Third Ninja World War, so there was no need for Zetsu to investigate anything.

What Zetsu really wanted to investigate was the information on the remaining five tailed beasts.

Now, there is no information about the five tailed beasts. Did you spend all this time investigating for nothing?!
"The Four-Tailed and the Five-Tailed were originally the tailed beasts of the Iwagakure Village, but because of the Box of Paradise, the Four-Tailed and Five-Tailed Jinchuriki died in battle one after another. Although the tailed beasts are immortal, the place of their rebirth cannot be determined, and according to the time, they should not have been resurrected yet." Zetsu said immediately.

"What about the Three-Tail, Six-Tail, and Seven-Tail?" Obito asked grimly.

"Well, Sanbi died in the battle on Higashinazan... According to the time, he should have been resurrected, but the specific information is not yet available. As for Vulpix and Nanabi... there is no news yet..."

"If there is no news, then go check it out!" Obito said angrily, "All our plans are basically centered around the tailed beasts. Now, we don't even have a grasp of the basic situation of the tailed beasts. How can we carry out our plans?"

"I know, I know..."

White Zetsu whispered.

The baby feels aggrieved, but has no place to speak out.

The baby has really tried very hard to check, but really can't find anything!
